Do you think Rey Mysterio is been wasted at WrestleMania. He's one of WWE top stars and most of the time has a pretty good story/feud going into 'Mania. But yet the longest singles match he's had was against Eddie Guerrero and that only went a little over 9 mins. Seems to me he gets the short end of the stick when it comes 'Mania. I believe given the time in a match, he could have a match of the year standard. Hopefully he'll get the opportunity against Cody this year.

True, while he did win the World Title at a Wrestlemania, the annual spectacle hasn't really been much of a showcase for Rey.  He's missed two in recent years due to injury, and most of the times he has appeared it has been in short matches.  However, to be correct, his match with Eddie went 12 minutes.  I'm not sure why it is, but Rey has never been put in a long match at Mania, and it would seem his "Wrestlemania memories" would be about dressing as a comic book character every year.  I do hope they give him and Cody time this year, as I've enjoyed their storyline on Smackdown over the past several weeks.

It was reported that prior to TNA's Victory Road pay per view Jeff Hardy showed up intoxicated. If this is true how did he get to the building? Taxi? Someone drove him? Did he drive himself there? If he indeed was behind the wheel of a car thank God nothing happened. Can you imagine? 

The reports I've heard were that those within TNA didn't realize Hardy's condition until shortly before the match, so it would appear he was not visibly impaired at the time he arrived at the building.  The term I've heard used is "not in condition to perform" I haven't heard anyone say they believed it was due to alcohol consumption.  If Hardy was operating a motor vehicle in an impaired state, and I am not saying he was, but if that was the case, he is a jerk.  Driving when you are in no condition to endangers the lives of every person on the road, not just yourself.

Why they book Sting as TNA champion they could have let Samoa Joe or AJ Styles be the champion nobody wants to see Sting at his stage in  wrestling be a champion?

Apparently TNA believes that booking a 50+ year old performer who was a draw over a decade ago as World Champion makes more sense than putting the title on the workhorses that cultivated the loyal audience that continues to stick with TNA despite their sometimes bizarre booking. 

When do you think Kong is gonna debut in WWE??

Traditionally WWE has brought out new talent the week after Wrestlemania, so I would not be shocked to see her on Raw or Smackdown next week, and if not then soon after.

Do you think that this year, instead of Vince McMahon. that Michael Cole is playing the role of the annoying heel who has the upper hand on the way to Wrestlemania, whose opponent (Jerry Lawler) finally gets his revenge at Wrestlemania? Or do you see Vince liking Cole so much, that he will get the victory instead?

I suppose in some ways Cole is playing a "McMahon-like" role.  However, I don't see Cole beating Lawler at Wrestlemania. He's gotten the better of Lawler pretty much every week, so to have Cole beat him at Mania doesn't make a lot of sense.
